Author Topic: R.I.P. Alex Toth (1928-2006) RED-001 Applicant posted                        I'm sad to announce that on May 27, we lost the man who gave us Space Ghost and the Superfriends. Alex Toth died! For more info go to: tothfans.dynu.com ...and click on forums. I wonder if Ultra Jorge has made micros based on Toth's Hanna-Barbera heroes,especially Space Ghost. Toth Trivia: Alex Toth was good friends with Jonny Quest creator Doug Wildey.

I am assuming it is the same guy? Sorry to hear the bad news...

Anyone see BRAVO FOR ADVENTURE in Warren's THE ROOK ? He also did the first couple episodes of TORPEDO 1936 before the other guy took it over. It was ages before I found out he was behind SPACE GHOST, one of my favorites of late '66, and had worked on many other H-B series, including FANTASTIC FOUR, HERCULOIDS, etc., and had designed the lead characters on THUNDARR THE BARBARIAN. He was very knowledgeable and outspoken about comics, and had a regular column recently in ALTER EGO. I just kept wishing it had been TYPESET-- because I couldn't stand to read his freehand writing! Just 2 months ago I did a splash page for a brand-new story that was a tribute to him... and I never got around to sending him a copy. I hate when that happens. Registered: Aug 2003  |  IP: Logged |
